"THEY'RE GAINING ON US!" Philby shouts at Finn as Maybeck, Finn, and him sprint through Tomorrow Land, darkness engulfing their feet.
Finn breathing becomes heavy, his legs feeling as if they are made of jello. "You and Maybeck go to the apartment, I'll throw them off course and meet up with you guys later."
"Whitman you are NOT going off alone." Maybeck retorts, dodging a dagger as it whizzes past his ear.
Finn cranes his head over his shoulder. He sees 5 horrid pirates running after them, swords and guns drawn as the yell battle cries, slowly gaining on the 3 keepers. The 3 had been scoping around, checking if the Overtaker activity that Wayne had told them about was true. The pirates had come out of nowhere. They had suspected they would've stayed by their ride in Adventure Land, Tomorrow Land was the last place they would've thought they'd show up, but here they are.
"I'll be fine, just get back to the apartment and make sure the girls are okay." Finn says quickly, his lungs starting to feel as if they are in cased in cement.
Philby and Maybeck quickly nod. "On three." Philby announces, his voice sounding raspy and harsh. "One." A pirate's sword almost impales Maybeck's head. "Two."
"You can run but you can't hide ye' land lubbers!" A pirate cries, his gun drawn and aimed.
The three boys look at each other in unison.
"Three."
Maybeck and Philby quickly run into the greenery, their bodies being engulfed by the shrubs.
The pirates skid to a stop.
"Should we go after them?" One with a scraggly black go-t asks, turning towards another with a full auburn beard.
"Let 'em go, we'll get 'em later, the boy's gettin away, he's the one she wants. AFTER 'IM MEN!"
Finn runs. He runs faster and harder than he ever has before. The only thing he cares about is that the others get to the apartment. Sweat drips down his DHI's face, even with the new 2.0 technology he can still feel the excruciating pain in his legs, he can feel his lungs about to burst, he can feel his heart pounding against his chest as if trying to break through.
"Come on Finn, pick it up, you've got to lead them off course..."
Suddenly, he feels a sharp pain in his leg. Finn cries out in pain and topples onto the ground, the pain spreading through his entire left calve. He quickly looks down and is horrified at the sight. He sees a small metal 5 inch dagger stuck halfway deep in his leg, blood slowly spreading from the wound and onto the cement.
"No...no..." Those are the only words he can form as he struggles to crawl out of the open.
"Going somewhere boy..."
A foot slams down onto Finn's back, making him grunt as he's pushed onto his stomach, his lungs gasping for air. Finn struggles to pull himself off the ground, but the pain of the dagger spreads through his body, making his limbs turn like limp noodles.
"Only one thing I can do...and it could get me killed..." Finn thinks to himself.
"HELP! HEL-!" Finn's cries are cut short by a hand slapping over his mouth. The taste of dirt, sweat, and blood enter into his mouth as he struggles against his captors. The Keeper clamps his teeth down on the hand, making the pirate yelp and pull his hand away.
"Why you little-" A hard object slams into the back of the leader's head, making his vision go foggy and his brain go numb.
"Come, on Nutt, let's get 'im to the boss."
"Wait." One of the men stops and pulls are small vial out of his pocket. "She said we have to give 'im this."
"I remember Nutt, you think I'm stupid!" The pirate grabs the vial from Nutt. "Booth turn 'im over."
"Yes sir." Booth quickly turns Finn over onto his back. Whorley uncaps the glass vial.
"Not so strong are ya boy..." The pirate says with a horrid breath as he pours the liquid into Finn's open mouth.
The last blurry sight the keeper sees before fading out of consciousness is a bag being slipped over his head and darkness engulfing him.
Hello everyone! Sonicphantom47 here, along with Hendemar2000. So here's the deal. This story actually belongs to my friend Hendemar2000, or as I like to call her, Maleficent. But unfortunately she has informed me that she just can't finish the story. She is not interested in Kingdom Keepers fandoms anymore and just can't finish this, but she didn't want it to end. So she has asked me to finish the story for her. I will be uploading all the previous chapters she wrote and adding my own authors notes. No I cannot change what she has already written, but after these chapters are uploaded I can put whatever I want in the upcoming chapters, well, actually not anything I want. It has to pertain to the story.
Anyway just to let you know I will finish this for Maleficent so stay tuned, and make sure to check out her other stories on here and Wattpad (same username)
